I don’t think Bioware can cook anything good at this point, but I also think that a studio of 90-99 people should be more than enough to deliver a good RPG, as long as they drop the AAA graphics and focus way more on systems and writing. And it’s not like the project can’t scale up down the line, but it feels to me like it’s a good idea to have less voices and a more concise/streamlined direction at the early scopes of making a game. We have had indie studio after indie studio showing that it’s definitely more than possible to cook a masterpiece with 5, 10, 20 people. 100 people seems like a very reasonable number for starting a big project in that way.
